OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 4

[Brother Shatterstone]

I will probably be making some tweaks to the expanded psionics handbooks (reintroduction of talents, inclusion of Mindscape combat, jury is still out on psionic focus).

To be honest I haven't done much with it, nor have I made it very far into the book so if you would rather not deal with a psionics just say something. I was looking at the Wilder class, but I'm not seeing a way to make a telepath so it simply might not happen.

 

[Xael]

Ok, so here's my thought. I'm going to read through my new City of the Spider Queen module and get some ideas. Then I believe we're just going to shift the timeline ahead a year, allowing people to get raised if necessary, allowing Lolth to un-silence herself, and allowing new characters into the fold. Put everyone around 17th level (ECLs included) or so. How does that sound?

*Kneels and bows three times towards Iowa.*

Though the year's downtime practically presumes that we kill Irae and complete the module, as the graverending is only a month away.

Since you seem allow prestige classes, do you allow the Archmage class? Not that Quertus could reach it before 22nd level, unless you allow changing some feats.

Not saying she will, but any character still alive will need to be rebuilt also, we have a number of characters built on a 25 point system and we have a number of characters built on a 35 point system that should be evened out.

Well, that depends. I mean, we have an ECL 22 character (and Quertus is running around screaming "Lichdom! Lichdom!"). Not that I would complain about 7 more points to stats...

The ECL is a little different that ability points. Being templated after the fact makes it so but if Kilcif had those seven extra points we could have had a totally different outcome.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Yeah, I'd be all about converting current classes to 32 point buy, as well as allowing some feat changes. Hmm... if we have that much of an ECL difference I might almost want to try to get everyone semi-equal.

Anyway, I have a second thought. How badly do you guys want to fight Irae?

Who?



Seriously, I couldn't care less about Irae.

...but if Kilcif had those seven extra points we could have had a totally different outcome.

Now that's what I call exaggerating.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Now that's what I call exaggerating.

Exaggeration is the key to good story telling but honesty, if Kilcif had some more points to spend he would have been so simple to dominate, would have been stronger, quicker, and tougher. If he wasn’t dominated earlier in the game, or if he hadn’t failed during those battles are group could have been seriously different and such.

Good.

To be honest it doesn't effect me one way or the other but I wouldn't want to go skipping through the book to find out we did indeed need to run a certain encounter or to never have the showdown at "high noon."

If we don't count Quertus's upcoming lichdom (which is most likely a couple of more levels away, and this would be as good a place as any to use the leveled lich template from the Savage Progressions part of WotC's site), Torellan is the only one completely out of synch with everybody else's ECL. Even if everybody else is pumbed to ECL 17, he's still 5 levels higher (and I can't realistically see him losing 7 levels's worth of skills and having an IC justification for it).
So we can have Torellan go off on his own to enjoy his new ways of pleasures since his old ones are unavailable to him as things currently stand (pun intended), and we'll write in another character for me to play.

And wasn't Jena telepathic rather than telekinetic?

 

[Serpenteye]

It all sounds ok with me. It would have been fun to finish the module, but my character couldn't care less (as long as there's some other world-shaking artifact to go after ).
I actually like this version of the Incantatrix better, though it will put more strain on my feat-selection. The immunity to Death effects and Draining is awesome.

I don't think it's too unfair to let Torellan keep his ECL. He's not exactly optimized for his level, and the ability to spawn is really no big deal (as we've recently found out). He won't unbalance the game.
